what are you talking about?
Vax existed before 1976 dude, where the hell have you been?
ever heard of the Vax 11/750 ? You know, the one with the PDP-8 FEP ?

You obviously have NO clue what you're talking about.

i was there in '76, and those had already been out for about a year.

I saw, physically handled, touched, used the "sol"

Sorry I can't remember the exact spelling, but it was like 30 years ago. sheesh.

but please, get a clue.

There are those of us who were there, we lived this. unlike some no one like yourself.

If you want to leave, go ahead. we have better things to do
